Health Information

Ester C, a patented form of Vitamin C, is the most bio available form developed. Metabolites in Ester C help the vitamin get into cells more efficiently. Ester C is absorbed into the blood stream faster and is held in the body longer than ordinary Vitamin C, increasing its effectiveness. Ester C is more effective than other Vitamin C and is non-acidic (pH7). It is patented and scientifically supported. Ester C was developed by Inter-Cal Corporation of Arizona after years of research designed to find a better Vitamin C. Ester C is processed in purified water and the Ester C compound is recovered by gentle drying. This process is now patented.

Immune System Support White blood cells have very high levels of Vitamin C, which they require for their metabolism. This influences their ability to perform as a critical component of the immune system. High levels of intracellular ascorbate aid the immune activity of white blood cells. Ester C ascorbate increases white blood cell ascorbate levels above those obtained with plain ascorbic acid.

More Effective During the unique natural process used to make Ester C, an important natural metabolite of Vitamin C, Threonic acid is formed. Bio chemically identical to the form produced in the body during metabolism of Vitamin C in the liver, Calcium Threonate found in Ester C has special benefits which enhance Vitamin C's activity. Ester C is readily and rapidly absorbed into the blood stream and enters the white blood cells where its main actions take place.

Neutral pH Compared to other forms of Vitamin C, Ester C offers real advantages related to absorption, utilisation in the body and tolerance. Ester C's neutral pH (pH7) means there is less possibility of stomach upset or discomfort.

Powerful Antioxidant Ester C is a powerful antioxidant which helps maintain healthy cells throughout the body and helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Ester C helps maintain general body resistance to mild infections and respiratory ailments, and may assist with tissue repair and wound healing.
